Farm market rolls out drive-thru service for groceries

It’s time for the classic fast-food refrain — “You want fries with that?” — to move over. These days, it’s, “You want cantaloupe with that?”

The coronavirus has caused companies around the country to adapt quickly. Among the adapters? Sarasota-based Detwiler’s Farm Market, with four stores in Sarasota County and one in Manatee. The company recently launched a drive-thru for customers to pull up, hand in an order and get food — including a cantaloupe — loaded into their car within minutes.

‘They pull up, and we take their order like a fast-food restaurant.’ — Sam Detwiler, Detwiler’s Farm Market
